  1. Re:Web-controlled robot on New CASMOBOT Lawnmower Controlled By a Wiimote · · Score: 2, Funny

    This might be safer than my plan, which is to have a round lawn with a string (like a weed whacker) that pops up from the center and buzzs around a few times. It could be automated, but having someone chase off any random animals (birds, neighbor's cat, mailman) before turning it on might be prudent.

  2. Finally on Even Dirtier IT Jobs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Zombie console monkey...

    Finally, a job that really COULD be replaced with a shell script.

  3. Re:Wrong on North Korea Missile Launch Fails · · Score: 1

    Of course if we recover the upper stage and there wasn't/isn't a satellite in it, it would be hard to argue that it was anything but a ballistic test, so it seems like the NK claim to it claiming it was a spacecraft wouldn't be relevant.

  4. Re:Too late FBI on FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Meanwhile, thousands of actual criminals commit much more heinous crimes and go unpunished while the FBI wastes their time on this.

  5. Re:Quite clever on New Entrant In the Race For Wafer-Thin Speakers · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about more high pitched speakers to scare off the hoodlums... er I mean kids?

  6. Re:What kind of cowards do they hire? on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 1

    I wish they would post pictures of the angry mob when you streetview that town.

  7. Re:bugged on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Aside from being amused that my uid sounds like a Van Halen album, I can now be happy I didn't wait just a little longer before signing up here.

  8. Re:This is a test... on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    So far it doesn't seem to work for me :-(

  9. I must post here on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    I gotta post, just to add "April fool" to my achievements.

  10. Re:Stickers... on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    "Next time I beat up a nerd and take his laptop, I'm going to make sure it isn't white first"

  11. Re:Another good reason. on The Underappreciated Risks of Severe Space Weather · · Score: 1

    Any weapon based on a mechanical trigger that starts a chemical reaction should remain functional.

    At least until you run out of ammo.

  12. Re:CSI to the rescue on Cotton Swabs are the Prime Suspect In 8-Year Phantom Chase · · Score: 1

    On the upside she can now go out and kill whoever she wants, as long as she only leaves behind DNA evidence.

  13. Re:Give up control? on Red Hat CEO Questions Relevance of Desktop Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Were you forced to post this troll as part of some bizarre 12 step program?

  14. Re:I hereby on Microchip Mimics a Brain With 200,000 Neurons · · Score: 4, Funny

    If the Terminator movies have taught me anything, human bones make good groundcover.

  15. Re:Cue the following: on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    That depends; is California manufacturing cars without wheels and with the steering wheel conveniently located in the trunk?

  16. Web Software Eco-System on Microsoft Launches Free Web Software Eco-System · · Score: 2, Funny

    If it is an entire Eco-System it must include the viruses too I assume?

  17. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Taxpayers Fund AIG Lawsuit Against US · · Score: 1

    I'd have to say this is more akin to the guy who spent the night with your daughter knocking on the front door the next day and saying, "hey, mind if I get another 30 second quickie with her?"

  18. Re:hard work, a little determination... on From an Unrelated Career To IT/Programming? · · Score: 1

    Luckily it is never too late to switch to a new career you end up despising as it sucks the life out of you and makes you age at twice the normal speed.

    And the bitterness, don't underestimate that.

  19. Add-ins on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    [IE8 has] no add-ins, and there doesn't appear to be such an ecosystem on the horizon.

    Never fear; I'm sure there will be plenty soon enough, and they will most likely install themselves! Check here to find out about new ones as they get released.

  20. Re:I can't believe it wasn't posted yet... on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 1

    Since it was in the comments of the last 5,000 stories posted on ./ that would make it a tad redundant.

  21. Re:Bats are _not_ rodents, dangit! on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 1

    Actually it is a ball of fat with a little chicken in it.

  22. Re:Lojban on Wolfram Promises Computing That Answers Questions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ahh, but how many bones does a one-armed midget with three fused vertebra who just swallowed a whole parakeet have?

  23. Re:Lojban on Wolfram Promises Computing That Answers Questions · · Score: 1

    That still doesn't explain why Kung Fu was canceled. Hey, my first question to ask the almighty AI.

  24. Re:Forgot one. on A History of Storage, From Punch Cards To Blu-ray · · Score: 1
  25. Re:Speaking as an author... on Google's Struggle To Reach Authors — of Every Book Ever Written · · Score: 1

    But they only post excerpts, not the entire book. At least that is the case with every book I have seen so far.
